[Intro] X4
[G]
[VERSE]
A- [G]merican ranching consists of a mansion
Where illegal immigrants do [Bm]much of the labor by hand [Am] [D]
They sneak 'em through customs till time comes to bust 'em
Then haul 'em back over the border to their own native land [G]
With a [G]ragged sombrero and not much dinero
They'll be back again when the ole Rio Grande's way down [C]low
Border patroller [G]don't stop the stroller
'Cause the [D]Mexican immigrant is helping America grow [G]
[CHORUS]
[G]Viva La Mexico, go where they let you go
Do what you can for the [D]land
Take home dinero and buy new sombrero
And come back again when you [G]can
[SOLO]
[G] [G] [G] [D] [Am] [D] [D] [G] [G]
[G]What makes a gringo your smart aleck lingo
When he stole this land from the [Bm]Indian man way back when [Am] [D]
Don't he remember the big money lender
That put him a lien parked where his pencil had been [G]
The [G]almighty peso that gives him the say so
To dry up the river whenever there's crops to bring [C]in
This a good neighbor to [G]take all his labor
Then [D]chase him back over the border till he's needed a- [G]gain
